You know something, I like that idea even better......I was thinking their basic blue and white scheme would had been fitting but the RR had the red/white/blue going didn't it?

No, they're coming with rods that don't exit the cases.

and here I thought that the use of vented cases (and the resulting reduction in pumping loss) was one of the key factors in that ol' V4 superiority.....

Indeed I do, no snow to go snowmobiling, too cold to take the bike out..... On a side note, my V4 bantering is just in jest, figure we might as well laugh about it, seeing as how it inevitably invades virtually every thread anyhow.....

Well now maybe the Canadians will be interested in hockey the way Mikstr is interested in V4s...

I have nothing against V4s, I see them as just another engine configuration, with pros and cons like all the others....

Guess I hit my head lately and lost some essential thought process but last time I looked, that ugly outdated last year model GSXR walked all over those other bikes this past weekend at the island with relatively unknown riders on board. Don't recall any 200 hp BMW's lighting up the score board, just sayin so I am to assume the official factory team sucks and can't make the bike go with a former world champion on board and a highly respected team boss. But it can fly on a dyno, okay now it all makes sense. My bad.

So I guess new has to be better

continue on this is all very entertaining

There's our resident Suzuki fanboy! Wave that flag Ballz!

They still won't be in the top 5 when the season's over. The cream will rise to the top eventually and when it's all over, it'll still be just a Gixxer.

Well Leon Haslam might be "relatively unknown" in Mississippi but in the rest of the world he is well known. Not to mention that Alstare Suzuki is one of the best funded teams in the series.

As for walking all over those other bikes, since when is .004 of a second a walkover?

Don't even THINK about clouding this discussion with facts and rational thought.

Guintoli is going to surprise some people this year. Tech3 on Dunlops and Pramac Ducati were probably not good enough tools to display your talent in MotoGP.

Haslam is building on strength from last year, now he knows the tracks and will probably win at least one more. He has a better team as well.

Many have picked Rea for the championship but there is a real chance he will be the third Brit at the end of the season behind Haslam and Toseland.

didnt Max Nurkirchkerterertck also have an awesome start to his season with Suzuki last season?


juz sayin' dont start popping the bubbly just yet.

Haslam is an awesome rider, if anyone can put the Zook up front all season is him. But, its all in Suzukis hands to provide a competitive machine all season, and history dictates (in WSBK), that probably wont happen.

His father is well known.

You know what I mean Haslam is no Troy Corser and the french dude whose name I can't pronounce is fast but never won what? I am referring to the front straight seems the Ducati was the only bike with the top speed to stay with the Suzuki's and to ad insult to injury they seem to have the Suzuki figured out this year as to not eat up the rear tire before race end.

You got it hot shot and your brand is? oh I forgot you don't have one but love to comment on anything about nothing.

Yea the cream is rising and it will be Suzuki a PROVEN package for years and years. I love to be hated .!.
